  2. 1. Cost Effective Maintenance for Competitve Advantages

    Author : Imad Alsyouf; Basim Al-Najjar; Uday Kumar; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : Maintenance approaches; Maintenance Costs; Savings and Profit; Operations; Quality; Effectiveness; Efficiency; Competitiveness; Productivity; Value Advantages; Profitability; Performance; Balanced Scorecard BSC; Maintenance Selection Method; Fuzzy MCDM; TTT-plot; Cost Effective Maintenance; Mechanistic Model; Vibration Level Prediction; Condition-Based Maintenance; survey; case study; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Maskinteknik; Mechanical Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the role of cost effective maintenance in achieving competitive advantages. It explores by means of a survey which maintenance practices are used, and how maintenance policies are selected in Swedish industries. READ MORE

  4. 2. Condition-Based Maintenance: Selection and Improvement of a Cost-Effective Vibration-Based Maintenance Policy for Rolling element Bearings

    Author : Basim Al-Najjar; Sherwin David; Bo Bergman; Produktionsekonomi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vibration and acoustic engineering; vacuum technology; hydraulics; Mechanical engineering; a cost-effective vibration-based maintenance policy.; Integrated maintenance; Condition monitoring and control; Total Time on Test-plots; Vibration monitoring; effectiveness and accuracy; Failure causes and mechanisms; Maintenance quality; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; Commercial and industrial economics; Industriell ekonomi; Maintenance Technology; Terotechnology;

    Abstract : Modern machinery is expensive and therefore must run at high availability and effectiveness which cannot be achieved without an effective maintenance policy. Condition monitoring, (CM), techniques can be utilised to reduce or arrest the rate of deterioration of a component so increasing operating life. READ MORE

  5. 3. Load and risk based maintenance management of wind turbines

    Author : Pramod Bangalore; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; condition monitoring system CMS ; optimization; supervisory control and data acquisition SCADA ; maintenance planning; Artificial neural network ANN ; life cycle cost; maintenance management; maintenance strategy; wind energy.;

    Abstract : Wind power has proven to be an important source of renewable energy in the modern electric power systems. Low profit margins due to falling electricity prices and high maintenance costs, over the past few years, have led to a focus on research in the area of maintenance management of wind turbines.

  6. 4. Fibres in reinforced concrete structures - analysis, experiments and design

    Author : Anette M Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crack width; stress crack-width relationship; design methods; post cracking; analysis method; Fibre-reinforced concrete;

    Abstract : Potential benefits from fibres in concrete are improved crack control and the possibility of more slender structures. The extent of the crack control depends, among other factors, on the amount of fibres added, and plays a great role for durability. READ MORE

  7. 5. Improved road design for future maintenance : analysis of road barrier repair costs

    Author : Hawzheen Karim; Ulf Isacsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; highway maintenance; highway management; highway design; road planning; road design; highway engineering; road barrier; cable barrier; w-beam barrier; road barrier damages; barrier repair cost.; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik; Vägprojektering för minskade drift- och underhållskostnader;

    Abstract : The cost of a road construction over its service life is a function of the design, quality of construction, maintenance strategies and maintenance operations. Unfortunately, designers often neglect a very important aspect which is the possibility to perform future maintenance activities. READ MORE
